Milan, Italy

Rooftop of the Duomo, Milan Cathedral.

This Gothic cathedral took five centuries to complete and is the fourth-largest church in the world.The cathedral of Milan is often described as one of the greatest churches in the world. The roof is open to tourists, which allows a close-up view of some spectacular sculpture that would otherwise be unappreciated. The roof of the cathedral is renowned for the forest of openwork pinnacles and spires, set upon delicate flying buttresses.
